C49 Questioning

"You're wondering why I let the two of them go, aren't you?"

On the way to the academy, the mysterious old man looked at the Su Jue who had been silent the entire time and said this.

Su Jue shook his head, he did not care about why the old man allowed the two to leave, and only said: "If I'm not mistaken, the reason you are here is to protect this palace, right?"

The old man thought for a moment, then said with a reminiscent look on his face, "You guessed right. For so many years, I have been guarding this palace."

"Why can I open the defensive formation outside this palace?" Su Jue asked.

"There are a total of three layers of formations above the door. The first layer requires the person who opens it to possess an extremely high level of flame power, and the second layer requires the person who inherits the bloodline to open it. As for the third layer, it requires something!" The old man said in a deep voice.

Su Jue frowned, he did not have any doubt that the first level of array would require a high level of fire energy, after all, his Grand Sun Primordial Flame was ranked fourth even on the Heaven Realm's Ultimate Flame List. If even he was unable to open the first level of array, then no one in dry boundary would be able to do it.

But the condition of the second layer was bloodline power.

'Could it be … '

"You guessed right, the master of the palace is related to your Su Family, but that is not what you need to worry about right now. What you need to do now is to save your father, because the thing that can open the third layer is on your father!" The old man seemed to have seen through Su Jue's thoughts.

Su Jue nodded his head, without the old man saying, saving his father was of course the most important thing, but he couldn't rush it either, the agreed time was two months from now, the date of the examination.

"I know why you let them go, because when the second layer opens, the palace will see the light of day again, and it might even rise above the ground. At that time, it will attract a lot of attention, and their existence should be able to restrain some places!" Su Jue laughed.

The old man was surprised: "I didn't think that you could see so far at such a young age. But you are only half right."

"I'd like to hear more about it." Su Jue said.

Just like the Cloud Alliance, they will be supported by the Sword Lake Palace's Sacred Grounds. As for the Three Ultimate Martial Halls and the Sword Lake Palace, they are incompatible like fire and water, and the two sides will be involved in the exploration of the palaces.

"But this is not the heaviest thing. The important thing is that there is something in the palace that they must have, and that is one of my duties." The old man laughed.

Su Jue looked to be deep in thought, this matter was obviously a secret, but the old man had told him without any restraints, which meant that there was a huge relationship between the Su Family and the palace.

After thinking about the method to open the second and second layers of array formations, Su Jue was even more certain of this.

"When the time is ripe, I will tell you about this palace. However, the most important thing for you to do now is to raise your strength. Other than that, you will also have to solve the crisis that you are about to face." The old man suddenly laughed. His smile contained a hint of playfulness.

Su Jue suddenly had a bad premonition. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from afar.

"Su Jue, I've finally found you. Let's see where you can hide." When the people dressed as foremen saw Su Jue, they immediately rushed forward.

Su Jue frowned. When he turned again, the old man had already left.

"What a schadenfreude." The old man had a smile on his face earlier, Su Jue was sure that the old man knew about this beforehand.

"Why are you looking for me?" Su Jue looked at the deacon who was rushing over and said.

"What is it? You innocent injured the Apothecary Guild's chief and violated the rules of the academy. Come with us to the Disciplinary Committee now! " The head deacon said angrily.

Su Jue smiled disdainfully, and said: "Alright, I'll go with you."

Law Enforcement Hall, the place where the Tianwu Academy was in charge of punishment. The head of the academy was also the vice dean of the academy, Xue Yuanhua.

Once he entered the hall, Su Jue felt a lot of pressure on him.

"Unfilial son, kneel down!"

The thunderous voice resounded through the hall in a deafening manner. A few deacons who didn't have much strength immediately fell to their knees after entering the hall.

It was a show of force!

Su Jue laughed coldly, this kind of pressure, together with the roar of the Earth Fiend Realm, if it was met with an ordinary person, they would probably be scared stiff, but he was not, he was the Wild Emperor, so no one could scare him.

Looking around, in the end, Su Jue's gaze landed on the left seat of honor.

Su Zhanxiong!

The one who spoke just now was his second uncle, Su Zhanxiong.

Other than Su Zhanxiong, there was another old man sitting on the right with Situ Yunwen. The plate on his waist showed that he was from the Liu Family, but he was not the patriarch of the Liu Family.

The master of the Liu Family could not come, because he was also the leader of the Yun Alliance. He held a high position!

The four great families had sent two Patriarchs and one elder, as well as Lin Zhengting and Gao Song and the others.

"Sinner Su Jue, kneel down!"

"Save it, you want me to give in with just this little bit of pressure? You're thinking too well." Su Jue sneered.

Everyone in the hall revealed a look of surprise. A Extreme Mortal Stage brat actually didn't fear the pressure of a Earth Fiend Realm practitioner at all. This was completely against common sense.

It was hard for Su Zhanxiong to stop halfway, but he could not move his hands either. He did not know whether he should stand, and his old face was flushed red.

"Patriarch Su, please take a seat. Since Su Jue made a mistake in the academy, let me handle it." At this moment, the old man in the middle finally spoke.

This person was none other than the Principal of the Law Enforcement Academy, Tianwu Academy Vice Principal Xue Yunhua.

"In that case, I'll leave it to Vice Principal Xue." Su Zhanxiong nodded and returned back to his chair.

"Su Jue, do you know your crime?" Xue Yuanhua asked expressionlessly.

Su Jue shook his head and said: "I am innocent!"

Xue Yuanhua was startled, but before he could say anything, a middle-aged man who looked like a deacon stepped forward and asked: "Su Jue, you injured the Chief of the Alchemy Hall Master Gao Song, is this true?"

Su Jue looked at him and suddenly felt that he was a little familiar. After a while, he remembered that this person was the Enforcer Yan whom Xiao Jian bribed when he was fighting with Xiao Jian at the Inner Academy. Su Jue also found out this person's name later on.

"Yan Tao, you're just a deacon, what qualifications do you have to gossip here?" Su Jue bellowed.

He was originally sent by the Inner Academy to record the interrogation process, but when he remembered that Su Jue made him lose face in front of so many disciples, he could not help but take it in.

Xue Yuanhua looked at Yan Tao, and then asked: "Su Jue, is Deacon Yan's words true?"

"That's right, I did hit Gao Song, but what does that have to do with my crimes?" Su Jue asked.

"Damn it, Su Jue, I helped you concoct the pills out of good intentions, yet you sneakily attacked me, and now you brazenly claim that you're not guilty. Today, in front of the Vice Principal, in front of the Su Family Patriarch, I want to see how you're going to escape the punishment!" Gao Song pointed at Su Jue and bellowed.

"I sneak attacked you?" Su Jue laughed loudly.

"Trash like you, do I need to sneak attack? If you think that I have ambushed you, then come out right now and fight against me. " Su Jue looked straight at Gao Song and said.

Gao Song felt a burst of fear in his eyes.

"Insolent Su Jue, where do you think this place is? Since you don't respect your teacher and you don't follow the rules of the academy, I have the right to directly kick you out of the academy!" Xue Yuanhua said angrily.

Su Jue laughed and said: "Vice Principal Xue, I think you don't, because I have not violated the academy's rules, and you don't have the right to kick a disciple out of the academy without reason."

"For no reason? You didn't violate the rules? I'd like to hear what you say. " Xue Yuanhua sneered.

"There's no need to quibble. You all can flip through the academy's rules. Which rule says that you are not allowed to fight the teacher? Which one says that teaching the teacher a lesson is against the academy's rules?" Su Jue looked at Xue Yuanhua playfully.

Xue Yuanhua was startled, he looked at Yan Tao beside him, who immediately understood and gave Su Jue a "Just you wait" look, then began to flip through the rules.

After half an incense stick of time, Yan Tao could no longer remain calm. The academy rules in his hands repeatedly clattered, and his face revealed an expression of disbelief.

"There's no need to search, there's none at all." Su Jue had already seen the academy's rules a long time ago, these two rules didn't exist in the academy at all.

Actually, the reason was very simple. Most of the professors in the academy were better than the disciples, so only the instructors were not allowed to beat up the disciples.

Xue Yuanhua did not say anything else. His constantly moving eyes proved that he was currently thinking of a countermeasure. Meanwhile, Gao Song was trembling with rage.

"You guys don't need to think about it anymore. If you want to use the academy's rules to cause trouble for me, then save it."

After Su Jue finished speaking, he looked at Gao Song and said: "Not to mention that the academy rules do not have this rule, even if I, Su Jue had this rule, I would still be able to beat him up no matter what. This man is greedy for money and sex, and does not have a trace of martial spirit in his heart, so he often takes over the bodies of female disciples by helping them refine pills.

Su Jue, the behavior of the instructors in the academy will naturally be investigated by the higher ups of the academy. When it comes to it, it's your turn to point fingers at them, do you want me, the Vice Principal, to let you do it? Xue Yuanhua said angrily.

"If I were to do it, I would definitely be a hundred times stronger than you." Su Jue said in disdain.

"You!" Xue Yuanhua was infuriated.

"Let me say a few words."

At this time, Situ Yunwen who had been silent the entire time stood up.

"Patriarch Su, I think you should have received the message that I asked the Queen, Elder Liu Zheng, to bring back, right?" Situ Yunwen looked at Su Zhan and thought.

Su Zhanxiong nodded his head, then laughed: "Clan Leader Situ, I have come here today to take care of this matter."

With his words shut, Su Zhanxiong suddenly stood up, and said: "This Su Jue, this child, goes against the will of the law, and has already disrespected elders within the clan. Now that he's at the academy, he's even more arrogant and conceited, relying on his talent and not being able to defy the law, even though I, Su Zhanxiong, am his second uncle, I will not cover for him.

"Alright, since that's the case, my opinion is to cripple his cultivation and chase him out of the Tianwu City." The patriarch of the Liu Family who was sitting down all this time stood up and said.

"I agree." Situ Yunwen sneered.

"I agree to exterminate my relatives for righteousness!" Su Zhanxiong also agreed.

"This …" Xue Yuanhua hesitated.

Su Jue looked at Xue Yuanhua and changed his opinion of this person. At the very least, this person was not without any opinions.

Actually, everyone here, including Su Jue and Xue Yuanhua, all knew very well that they weren't going to do anything today, but rather take revenge by strangling a genius.

Su Jue's actions and rise caused everyone to be stunned but at the same time, they felt fear.

The Liu Family was afraid that Su Jue surpassing Liu Xingyun would affect their future position as the alliance master of the Liu Family.

The Situ Family was afraid that Su Jue's smithing talent would threaten their dominance in the smithing of Tianwu City.

Su Zhanxiong was afraid that Su Jue would take revenge after he rose to power.

In the past, they did not have the chance, but now, they finally had the chance.

"Vice President Xue, I, Gao Song, have received great treatment from the Tianwu Academy, but I am unable to continue to stay in the academy. I hope that Vice President Xue can forgive me!"

"I, Lin Zhengting, am also the same. Since the academy cannot let me make the decision, there's no point in staying here."

Gao Song and Lin Zhengting, two people who were the chief of Refining Academy and the chief of Pill Refining Academy, could be considered important figures of the entire Academy. Once two people were lost, the two courtyards in Tianwu Academy would lose their backbone, and he, the vice principal, would also lose his right hand!

"Please don't be rash." Vice Principal Xue was perplexed.

"It's not that I'm impulsive, it's just that with Su Jue here in the academy, I don't have any face to continue staying here." Lin Zhengting shouted in anger.

"Father, how can you say that?"

Just then, Lin Yan barged in.

"Yanyan, what are you doing here?" Lin Zhengting said in shock.

"Father, I have already taken Su Jue as my master, so I hope that the two of you can make up." Lin Yan said.

"You, unfilial son, unfilial son! You actually acknowledged your father's enemy as your master! I don't have a daughter like you!" With that said, Lin Zhengting slapped him across the face.

Right at this moment, a firm and powerful hand extended over, and tightly held onto Lin Zhengting's hand.

This man was Su Jue.

"Lin Zhengting, you should thank your daughter. Otherwise, you would have lost all your face long ago." Su Jue suddenly threw Lin Zhengting's hand away.

"Vice President Xue, please make your decision. My Situ Family will not forget your decision today." Situ Yunwen said with an evil smile.

Vice Principal Xue was startled. Situ Yunwen's words were a threat as well, and his own decision had also indirectly decided his relationship with the Situ Family in the future.

"Since that's the case, let's …"

"Wait!"

A loud and clear voice came out, only to see a tall meritorious elder walk in.

"meritorious elder? What business do you have with me? " Xue Yuanhua asked.

Vice Principal, what Su Jue has done, there is nothing that violates the academy's rules. I was the notary for his battle with Situ Leng, and the competition between Lin Zhengting and I was instigated by the other party first. As for Gao Song, I feel that such a person should have long been kicked out of the academy. meritorious elder said loudly as he held his breath.

"meritorious elder, I think you are overthinking it. Although the Institute and the Cloud Alliance are separated, in the end, you are still one. Without the support of our four great families, you wouldn't be able to serve as the meritorious elder for long." Situ Yunwen said coldly.

The meritorious elder laughed out loud, and said: "What the Situ Family Head said is correct, if I do not have any means, how would I dare come here."

With his words closed, meritorious elder took out a long golden colored scroll and said: "In accordance to the order of the Principal, I have come to announce that Lin Zhengting will be removed from his position of being the head of the Alchemist Academy and that he will be the head of the Alchemist Academy. At the same time, he will preserve his identity as a disciple!"

"What!"
